Chapter 2 - Hello~ World!

Whew, I can see again. I need to find a way to not get blinded again. Or any type of inhibition in senses. Let's see.. pfft. Why am I laughing? Hehe... I feel a little light-headed. Anyway, where am I?

"Is the baby okay?! Why isn't it crying?! Is it a male?! Is my wife okay?! Say something, anything!" A voice sounded out anxiously.

Uuuh. Huh. Looks like hypothesis 1 is correct. Oh. It's conclusion 1 now. And what seems to be my father is a very noisy person. Unless there are 2 ladies giving birth together? Nah. What are the odds?

"Why... isn't my ..baby crying?" An exhausted feminine voice sounded out from behind me.

Right! Gotta cry. If I'm not mistaken crying is also how the baby clears its lungs. I will pass on suffocating, and I need to stop dilly-dallying, or the midwife is probably going to spank me, and I don't like being spanked. Gotta go cry... uuuuh. How? Think, Runa think. Right. What causes tears. Sadness. Nope too slow. Pain. Yeah, that's it! But I can't exactly pinch myself can I? Who would ever see a baby trying to pinch its slimy exterior? Hmmmmmmm..... Ah ha! I'mma bite mah tongue! Surely that would be painful enough.*Chomps on tongue*

AAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOUCH!!!

THAT HURT!! HOW THE HELL DO THOSE PROTAGONISTS BITE THEIR TONGUE AND SPIT BLOOD LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS?!

*WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~!*

"Ah, looks like she's crying now! A late bloomer huh?" The midwife delightedly cried out while halting her hand before my tender baby butt.

Thankfully, I made it in time~! Whew. I look around my surroundings. Or at least, tried to. I could barely open my eyes, and from the tiny crack between my eyes I warily gaze upon, at the corner of my eyes, the hand that was so close to unleashing the horror on my butt. Crisis Adverted!

"So, this is my daughter?" A deep baritone voice sounded out from my right.

Huh? Wait seriously? You're joking. What are the odds that 2 women would actually give birth at the same time, in the same room! Did they get impregnated at the same time?! Wat. Uuuh I srsly don't want to go there right now. I don't even want to question how their cycles lined up together. Hmm.. I wonder if it was an orgy or something and uhhh they switched partners at some point. Are they gonna do a DNA test?

"Let me see my baby, okay?" A not-so-exhausted-anymore voice sounded out.

"Here, quite the heavy one she is. She would grow up big and strong." The midwife happily commented while handing me over to some large hands.

"Look, An Xin, our daughter looks just like you!" The baritone voice calmly sounded out while gently placing me on something suuuuuuuper soft. I feel like I'm lying on cloud marshmallows~! 😆

"Let me see, let me see!" The much-more-energetic-now feminine voice happily cried out.

A pair of soft hands gently turned my body facing towards a happy smiling face.

"You're right! The resemblance is there!" An Xin excitedly shouted.

"What are we going to name her?" The man I assumed to be my father asked.

"Hmmm. She definitely is going to be beautiful, no doubt about that. Let's name her Hui Yan. Hui meaning wise, and Yan meaning beautiful. I hope she grows up to be wise and beautiful!"

Wise and beautiful huh. Reminds me of a certain Greek Goddess of Wisdom and War. Though that one just had a father. That's it. I still don't get how they can think up of dis kinda shet where full-grown lady just pops outta your mind in full-blown armour + sword and shield. What kind of drugs were dem Greek guys on when they thought of their legends? Trippy. Hmm. I don't think she was known for her beauty though? Then again, dem Greek Gods all had nice bods and chiselled faces. Must have hurt. At least I think it would, getting your face chiselled. Though their Ambrosia's very nice. I've read somewhere that it tastes like the most silky chocolate and yet it still burns your fat. Uuuuuhm~ The perfect food. Though eating too much will make you spontaneously combust, not to mention a mortal without godly blood flowing in their veins would just combust straight away with just a taste. I guess only descendants of the Greek Gods have such privileged food. How envious. Maybe I should try to make some that a mere mortal such as I could eat. Ah. I went off tangent again.

"Okay, I'm done cleaning up already, you can carry her back to your chambers now, she needs her rest. I'm sure she'll be fine tomorrow." The midwife shooed my father(?) away while carrying what sounded like metal tools away.

Tomorrow? Wow, my mom's a superhuman. 1 day is all she needs to recover from giving birth? Whew. Next thing you're telling she can bleed out for a month and not die. Oh wait. I guess that's not too far off. Welp.

"Hold her tight now, An Xin." My father(?) reminded while gently carrying us up in a princess carry.

"Okay, Wei Bai.." An Xin softly whispered while blushing.

As I lay upon my mother's soft, tender, and warm cloud marshmallows, I can hear her heart pounding faster and faster.

Wow, dog food for all the single dogs. Oof I'm jelly, tone down the PDA it's getting hot here. Oh. Because my mom is getting flushed so ohhh okay. Still. Sigh. Looks like the chambers might be getting a little steamy.
